That first line is awesome. Tender. Magical. It could very easily continue. One of those stories I would have written when I was younger (not the crafty bit of course--but the idea of just going with the flow of the imagination....). Inspired.

You created this man into someone I would have liked to have known. Beautiful work.

Aww, I know that I should be sad because he's died, but...I'm happy that he's done so under his own terms. Very beautiful flash.

I always feel humbled by your writing!

It is a great name, and a wonderful close.

Lovely story:)
It's a difficult topic to write about, but you did so in a way that was touching.

Quite a moving story. Well done!

Terrific imagery - it doesn't seem Rufus would've been happy in a home for sure.

I liked the imagery of someone becoming one with their forest.

That's what we're all hoping for. Unfortunately, few of us are lucky enough to die the "good death."

What a beautiful story Marisa! You wove it all together so well, which doesn't surprise me in the least. Well done!

Just lovely. Really enjoyed the image of his body feeling like a tree. Good on Rufus for defying them.

2010-05-28T14:28:12.593-04:00

This was meaningful and symbolic on so many levels. He become part of his beloved woods - his imagination as he died? His gentle death, melding with the earth, returning where he came from on his own terms.

This was so beautiful and touching, I can't say enough.

I can see this made into a complete book. This could actually be a children's book evoking discussions about death and passing. I just love the imagery.

Ligneous. A man determined to stay in place literally sprouts roots and an integument to keep him wedded to the place he's known all his life. Lovely, touching image of place.

"I won't need a nurse. Maybe a gardener?"

And some robins to nest in his branches in the spring.

Nicely done.

This is just lovely, I loved the ending, how his son covered him so he wouldn't be cold.
You've captured perfectly how kids perceive things, so touching.

2010-05-28T11:10:23.335-04:00

What a great story. This is how I'm going, too-- turn into a tree.

Lovely writing. One of my favorites this week.

Very nice.

Awww... I was so happy for him! And I guess I still am. What a lovely story. I want it to be true.

This is a terrific idea and you executed it really well.

What an endearing story! I think that's the kind of passing we all hope for. It is a metamorphosis, after all.

Very clever and moving. Nice work. :)

He was able to stay in his beloved woods. What a lovely way to go.
